#1: Floyd Mayweather jr. Flashy, fast, dominate, technical...best of the last 10 years. Nuff said.
#2: Manny Pacquiao. Took me awhile...but damn he just blasts 'em out.
#3: Erik Morrales. Always loved the all heart, all guts, all boxing battler.
#4: Winky Wright. Damned right. Laugh all you want...but Wright always outsmarts 'em all...& that's what I love about a boxer.
#5: Jeff Lacy. Provided he can come back...I love Lacy...explosive.
#6: Joe Calzaghe. Technical, accurate, speedy, power, & heart...I love Calzaghe.
#7: Jorge Arce...I don't think that I really even need to get into that.
#8: Wlad Klitschko. Up & down, now that Vitali is gone...what choice do I have? The guy is skilled & he's one of the more exciting heavies of the game currently.

My last two & all timers...

#9: Bernard Hopkins. The master tactician...whether or not he's in or out...he's just my guy & he always get's me going for the game.

#10: Oscar. Oscar always has & always will be an exciting fighter...hell an exciting persona of boxing to me. He's done more in & out of the ring than anyone in the game of the last 20 years. Like my guy Bernard, whether or not he's in or out...he's just my guy & he always will be. Love him or hate him...Oscar is good for the game.
PBF, best of the last 10 years? Yeah, F****** right. Maybe if Roy Jones Jr. had never been born, maybe then. Or maybe best of the last 3-5 years, but not ten years. By 1996, ten years ago, Roy had dominated B-hop, James Toney, and avenged his DQ loss to Montell Griffin. By 2006, PBF has gotten one gift decision against Castillo, avoided fighting Tzyu, beaten Gatti, Judah, Corrales, and is preparing to face Baldomir.
When Roy fought HOpkins b hop was noone, he was just a belt holder for Roy to launch his career with, and he certainly didn't have an easy time. Toney, was seriously weight drained for their fight I don't care what anyone says. Sure Roy probably would have beaten him anyways, but he was not in good form. Griffin was a pretty good fighter, but Roy didn't exactly blow him out of there in the first fight, Montell won some rounds convincingly. PBF has faced fighters who are easily as good as anyone Roy ever fought, perhaps not legacy wise but on the night of, Castillo and Judah were p4p every bit as good as anyone Roy beat.. And Floyd is a much more fundamentally sound fighter, not that you'd know anything about that. He doesn't have the power or dazzling reflexes of Roy JOnes, but he is a much better boxer. IMO Floyd is the best p4p fighter since Pernel Whittaker, they are both better than Roy JOnes in my mind.
You are a fukin idiot. Or least you are actin like it on this subject. "B-hop was nobody..." Maybe at the time he wasn't reverred as a great champion, but as time has told us, he is. And I don't care if Toney was weight drained, easy to claim that after you've had your ass handed to you. It's a moot point as Roy woulda beat him anyway, and James had two close losses to Griffin, least one was legit, and RJJ KO'd Griffin twice. They call the first fight a DQ, but Griffin was bein KTFO. Did Roy Jones EVER need any gift decisions in his prime, or after it for that matter? NO. Did PBF, YES. And after bein upset by Baldomir Judah was not on anyone's P4P list anymore, so shut up. RJJ would beat either PBF or Pernell if they were in the same weight class, Roy Jones was faster than both. God, you must HATE Roy Jones to say such stupid crap.
